Advanced Athlete Development is where Ireland’s top players come to gain the upper hand through speed, strength & agility training.
Our expert team of Strength Coaches and Sports Scientists work with players to help them find that extra hundredth of a second, that inch, that half step, because those are the small margins that separate good from great and winning from losing.
Eoin is Advanced Athlete Development’s Head Coach and Founder. He is a qualified Strength & Conditioning coach, Personal Trainer and Football coach.
In his capacity as Advanced Athlete Development’s Head of Strength & Conditioning, Eoin works regularly with elite players at Representative, Youth International and Professional levels and is currently the Strength & Conditioning coach of League of Ireland side UCD AFC, where he also played at U20 level.
Eoin also has over 8 years football coaching experience and is one of a small number of Irish coaches to have been awarded the UEFA B Coaching badge.
We are delighted to have Stephen Gaffney as one of our head Speed coaches at AAD.
Stephen is a strength and speed coach who will also be a qualified Physiotherapist by the end of the month!
Interesting fact: Stephen currently competes for Ireland over 100m, 200m and is also part of the Irish 4 x 100m relay team.
Stephen is a great asset to AAD and brings a wealth of knowledge in speed training, injury prevention & rehabilitation to our team.
Niall Casserly or “Cass” will also be joining us as one of our head coaches at AAD and we are thrilled to have him on board.
Niall has a degree in Sports Science from UCD and is currently working with Leinster Rugby in their Strength and Conditioning department.
Niall has been doing excellent work with the players in the gym over the last few months.
‘Cass’ works with some of the best athletes and coaches in the country on a daily basis and you can see this in his work. He’s thorough and his attention to detail is second to none.
Advanced Athlete Development are delighted to be able to call Alexandra College in Milltown our new home.
This state of the art facility will now house all of our programmes and pitch sessions. Having our very own AstroTurf and gym has helped us to improve the quality of our sessions and programmes.
